So, I wrote an article for the BYU newspaper about the More Good Foundation. The article focused on how the foundation is encouraging members (along with apostles) to go online to discuss the gospel. It was quite a fun article, probably not my best writing, but fun. Lots of people have become active or started taking the discussions with the missionaries through members online. One woman recorded her testimony on Youtube and some guy asked for a copy of The Book of Mormon after watching it four times. Professors here at BYU are also realizing that much of the stuff they publish will only reach a few thousand people unless it goes to the web. Then it can reach millions.
The really funny thing is I just got an email from a friend. He told me he received an email via a Los Angeles LDS listserv. In the email was a link to my article. Kind of strange but my article traveled to another state and hundreds of other people in a single day.
That, my friends, is pretty cool.
Now all I need is some funding, some maps, crazy expedition gear, a camera, and a laptop. I could post crazy adventures to remote locations and get thousands of viewers. FINALLY--the fame I've always wanted. Just kidding.

I'd totally sign up as your corporate backer. "globetrotter83 from Ancient Thailand" and "globetrotter83 from Remotest India" sponsored by whatever my company name happens to be at the time. Of course you'd come up with something cooler than globetrotter83. But hey, what's in a name?
ReplyDeleteSounds great to me! Just think. We could take people to the corners of the globe.
ReplyDeleteI could do live action films for the net! :)
Live action...maybe I could provoke some natives and they'd chase me through a jungle. Maybe I could see if I could run up and slap a rhino's leg. Hmm...
I just got finished with some articles and my brain needs to unwind through random and yet creative thinking.
Actually, I'll be taking a class next fall or winter where we do different things such as backpack journalism. That'll be cool.
"globetrotter83 Demonstrates how to get a poison-tipped arrow out of your thigh..." No, I don't think you need have provoked those natives so hotly.
